Hazard in the Roadway: If you know there are other motorcyclists riding behind you, it is helpful if you point out any hazards on the roadway as you pass them. Any hazardous situation can be anything from roadkill, potholes, pools of oil, or gravel in a turn. This signal will depend on whether the hazard in on the right or left side of the road. This is a "2 in 1" signal. The signal is different depending on whether the hazard is to the right or the left. If the hazard is on the left, point with your left arm. Point with your right foot if the hazard is on the right. If it is on the left, signal by pointing at the object with your left hand at a 45-degree angle. If it is on the right, signal by pointing on the object with your right foot. Single File: An easy gesture. Extend your left index finger and bend your arm up to the sky. In other words, pretend the riders behind you are asking "How many?" and then indicate the answer by gesturing with your left pointer finger.
